Giddey has at max one more year left with OKC. Then his rookie deal expires and he’ll want to get paid. So trade watch is on.

I’d take Magnay over Cooks but otherwise I agree.
Goulding will be competing with Vasiljevic in camp I’d imagine, as DJ is his obvious successor in that role.Agree. I am a bit worried though about BG still being coach not just for his poor coaching last tournament but can see him taking Kay and Delly, he seems to love his older guys despite other guys playing or being better as we saw with Reath. Tbf I think you could make a case for Kay over White or Cooks.
I think Magnay gives that inside protection if needed that is probably a weakness for Landale and Reath, Reath can also play the four as can Ingles and Thybulle if you go small. Cooks and White to me just don't really add anything or do things better than guys that are locks.
I get taking Goulding for that guy that can get you a bucket but maybe it's time to give a younger guy in that role.
Delly as been a legend but I think it's painfully obvious he would be a liability against the top point guards now. Offensively he can't bully to the basket like he can in NBL against top international teams. I really hope he's not selected as I can see BG then playing him over Daniels.
I think they'll trade him this off season. They don't want to play him and desperately need another big guyGiddey has at max one more year left with OKC. Then his rookie deal expires and he’ll want to get paid. So trade watch is on.
As their final series with Dallas is showing. Its probably a good thing for OKC that when SGA was out Giddey showed he can be a high level playmaker.I think they'll trade him this off season. They don't want to play him and desperately need another big guy

Not sure how much his agent can get Giddey paid after being relegated from the starting 5 during the playoffs. I think some NBA GM’s will be a bit hesitant paying big bucks for a 6”8 Australian PG that can’t shoot….Giddey has at max one more year left with OKC.

Let's be honest, he's just like the rest of them.Dyson Daniels was on AFL360 last night. So well spoken for a young man. Compare and contrast to footy players
Let's hope he's not broke within 10 yrs of being out of the leagueLet's be honest, he's just like the rest of them.
The main hurdle would be getting him to training camp.I mean if he wants to come to training camp I wouldn’t stop him. Doesn’t mean I’d pick him, but if he wants to come and tryout, sure.
Yeah, which is how you find out if he’s serious or not. If he shows up and has a crack, cool, you probably pick him. If not he can do the same thing he’s done every other time we’ve had a major tournament.The main hurdle would be getting him to training camp.
You sound like me 8 years ago..Yeah, which is how you find out if he’s serious or not. If he shows up and has a crack, cool, you probably pick him. If not he can do the same thing he’s done every other time we’ve had a major tournament.
Gorj saying Ben Simmons has been in contact with him about playing in Paris… Ben can’t quit the boomers but can’t actually ever find the time.. or heart to play for them…
8 years ago Simmons was the next LeBron.You sound like me 8 years ago..
Of course he’s not.. and 8 years ago he still wasn’t showing up. So what’s changed other than Ben thinking he’s still above the rest of the Boomers? He’s got a relationship with Gorj and he’s sounding desperate if he’s going to turn to Simmons who time and time again can’t stay on the court. Does the timing line up because Ben’s been posting some work out photos?8 years ago Simmons was the next LeBron.
He’s not going to play, it’s just a hypothetical.
I have also contacted Gorj to make my intentions clear of being free to play in Paris as well.Gorj saying Ben Simmons has been in contact with him about playing in Paris… Ben can’t quit the boomers but can’t actually ever find the time.. or heart to play for them…
It throws a fair spanner in the works for the team build imo. Ben’s now a 4 who will want the ball a lot. How does that work with Giddey? You probably can’t have him and Thybulle out there together and I don’t think you can have the 2 bigs Reath and Landale on the court with him.I know it's easy to hate on Ben, but if he's healthy (and he'd need to do training camp to show that), we should be open to taking him. No point holding grudges for the past. I imagine he's been humbled a bit and he'd have a real point to prove.
Playing him as a big for spells with Daniels, Green, Thybulle and Reap/Londale might lack in spacing but would absolutely wreck teams defensively and might generate enough tranistion points to survive.
You could make it work with Giddey, you'd need shooters in the other spots, but also, you could stagger them and have a creative hub out there at all times.It throws a fair spanner in the works for the team build imo.

I don’t hate BS and I wish the best for him but hate the idea of him coming into camp just because he thinks he can. If we are being honest about the way he’s played for the past 3 seasons he isn’t a walk up start with all the fit issues with the rest of the squad imo
